Getting Ready for Lent

Getting Ready for Lent

One thing we'll be doing is the Holy Heroes Lenten Adventure program. It's FREE, just like the Advent Adventure was! Here's the info from the Holy Heroes website:

We invite you and your friends to join us for Holy Heroes Lenten Adventure - and you could become a Holy Heroes Lenten Adventure Guide.

It's free (costs you nothing!) and easy for your Mom and Dad, because all they need to do is:

Open our emails three times a week, then
Click and watch... a short video of children teaching children,
Click and listen... to children leading and explaining prayers,
Click and print... fun activities for all ages,
Click and answer... questions to see how much you've learned.
New for 2009 Holy Heroes Lenten Adventure:
We have a special way for YOU to be part of this year’s Lenten Adventure:

Send us YOUR short videos about your family traditions for Lent and Easter, about your family prayer times, or about the Saint Days during Lent--and we may select YOU to be a guide in Holy Heroes Lenten Adventure!


It's educational, catechetical, and FUN to learn what other families do to make Lent and Easter memories that will last a lifetime on earth - and fruitful to last an ever-lasting lifetime in heaven.

And it's free - did we say that?

Plus you'll get a coupon code for 20% off all the products we sell at www.HolyHeroes.com.

And when you sign up, we'll send you instructions for sending us YOUR videos about your own family traditions. We'll select the best ones to be part of Holy Heroes Lenten Adventure! That's right: you could become a Lenten Adventure guide!

Holy Heroes Lenten Adventure will help you and the children you love learn more about our faith beginning with Ash Wednesday (Feb 25) through the 40 days of Lent, into Holy Week and Easter Week, and concluding with Divine Mercy Sunday.

Join your family with Holy Heroes to learn more about:

Family traditions from around the globe that you can make part of your family's Lent and Easter
The Stations of the Cross
The Seven Last Words of Christ from the Cross
How to live a fruitful Lent of prayer, penance, an alms-giving
The Rosary and other prayers and devotions that bring the faith to life in our homes
Like to sing? Sing along while you learn the Divine Mercy Chaplet, the Regina Caeli, and the Stabat Mater - in English and Latin
And much more!
Sign up now, and you'll receive your 20% off coupon code and instructions for sending us your videos about your own family traditions.

May God richly bless your Lent and Easter,
Your friends at Holy Heroes




I'm also hoping to do some heavy duty cleaning this Lent through Clearing Spaces 2009. This is from Sarah at Plainsong. She's organized a plan for decluttering a different hotspot of our choice each Monday of Lent. In case you're not up on Flylady terminology, a hotspot is
any part of your home where clutter regularly collects. I have lots of those. We'll take 30 minutes each Monday to bag up unwanted clutter to be thrown away, put away, or given away by Easter. The seven hotspots I chose are the living room shelves, linen closet, master bedroom, master bedroom closet, boys' bedroom closet, basement t.v. room, and the homeschooling supply cupboard.
Oops, I guess we were supposed to start today! Oh well, I've been sick all day (see, making excuses already), and it's never too
late to jump in, so my Monday Mission this week will be on Tuesday.
